The Women Ratings & Reviews
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Katherine Howard
As one member of the female sex trying to be honest, we'll have to confess that we squirmed, but also admit that we saw many of our sisters in their true life characters.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Mildred Martin
Joan Crawford gives her best performance in several seasons as Crystal; Paulette Goddard brings striking good looks and expert playing to the ex-show girl who walks off with Miss Russell's husband; and Joan Fontaine is a lamb among the wolves.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinée
As one woman to another -- DON'T miss The Women, girls -- but better leave papa at home.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Colvin McPherson
The new film is one of the glossiest items of the year, fast comedy superbly cast and capably performed.
Kansas City Star
Phil Koury
It is the men who will get the time of their lives listening to the kind of chatter that goes on behind boudoir doors.
Sacramento Bee
Ronald D. Scofield
Clare Booth's brittle satire on Park Avenue womanhood, The Women has been translated from stage to screen without losing any of its wallop, except for a certain toning down of dialogue to get by the Hays office.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Vincent Johnson
There's no use picking out any particular actress for honors. You can say Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard and Norma Shearer are all swell. But so are the rest.
Washington Star
Jay Carmody
Without delay let it be said that [The Women] is as slick, clever, beautifully groomed and venomous piece of entertainment as Hollywood has produced.
Boston Globe
Globe Staff
The entire cast is so good that it's hard to do any more than hand each individual a separate laurel wreath.
Los Angeles Times
Philip K. Scheuer
The sly-cat Russell delineation stands out, I'd say.
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
The Women, like its original, is a mordant, mature description of the social decay of one corner of the U. S. middle classes.
Detroit Free Press
Clarke Wales
The picture is a triumph for nearly everyone who had anything to do with It.
New York Daily News
Wanda Hale
Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell are a few among many of those purring, silken, clawing females so cleverly and mercilessly fashioned.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
A film that deserves to be seen (or seen again).
Chicago Reader
Ted Shen
The catty banter and Wildean aphorisms (some of them contributed by Anita Loos) are delivered with impeccable timing by a cast only MGM could have mustered.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
[Cukor is] at his best with a cast that includes Rosalind Russell, Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Hedda Hopper, Ruth Hussey, Paulette Goddard, and Joan Fontaine.
Variety
Variety Staff
Story is essentially lightweight and trivial, held together throughout by excellent sketching of satirical episodes and dialog, punchy lines, and the intimate chatter of the women.
Slant Magazine
Jeremiah Kipp
The tagline says it's all about men, but this 1939 comedy is really a testament to the females of a certain era, and how they go about securing their comfort and happiness.
New York Times
Frank S. Nugent
The tonic effect of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's film of Clare Boothe's The Women is so marvelous we believe every studio in Hollywood should make at least one thoroughly nasty picture a year.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
An enduring favorite that features a constellation of top female stars (in an exclusively female cast) dishing the dirt on each other like there's no tomorrow.
